Chapter 4: The Capture of the Army (1)

Uncle Du died. He was smashed on his body by his own horse and crushed to death. But in Ji Qian's words, Du Shuwu is stupid.

The power of the war horse lies in the sprint. The advantage of the war horse lies in seizing the fleeting fighter plane and lightning assault. If Du Shuwu saw Yue Fei, he didn't say a word, and went straight forward. Even if you can't kill Yue Fei, it is estimated that dozens of people will be killed. But he thought that the odds were in his hands, so he had to say a few words to humiliate Yue Fei. As a result, because the distance was too close, the power of the war horse had not yet been exerted, and it was stabbed to death by Yue Fei.

A horse with complete armor and a completely run away is an iron carriage with infinite power. But if there is no speed, the war horse is the target of the infantry army.

What's more, although the Shengjie Army is a royal army, well-equipped and brightly armored, because it is held in the hands of the emperor, as a strategic force to deter the candidates, it lacks the most important actual combat experience of the army. No matter how well trained an army is, it has not passed the test of blood and fire, it is still just embroidered pillows, looking good, and looking bright.

This is also the reason why Tong Guan led the Northern Expedition of 40,000 Shengjie Army four years ago, but was killed by the thousands of rabble of the Liao general Yelu Dashi.

And Yue Fei's battalion of military horses, as a selection of the front army, and the Jin people in a hundred battles, single cavalry assault camp, a hundred cavalry combined attack, to break the cavalry, all kinds of tactics have been used, whether it is the cooperation of the battle array, and the skill of killing, how can it be beyond the reach of the Shengjie army who has not been on the battlefield.

If Du Shuwu hadn't met Yue Fei on the streets of Yingtianfu, his seemingly inconspicuous army of dozens of centaurs would have become a big man in the Central Plains a year later. Then a year later, he was captured and killed by Yue Fei outside Bianliang City.

Uncle Du Wuquan is knowledgeable, and it is estimated that he will not be too sad. Anyway, if you die early or later, you will die in the hands of Yue Fei.

In the summer of the second year of Jingkang, the prosperous Yingtianfu was dying all the time. Someone is killing, someone is being killed. There are those who set fires, and there are those who prevent arson. Scattered fires were already rising in the scorching sun. The great city of eastern Henan is shrouded in a faint layer of red.

Commander Liu Hao was dressed in military uniform, rode his white horse, and took his ten personal soldiers to inspect the barracks. As soon as the news of Zhao Gou's southward movement spread, the army's morale was in chaos. Since yesterday, Liu Hao has found signs of riots among the soldiers in the battalion.

Liu Hao had a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses, including 2,070 infantry and 300 horse troops. It was divided into three battalions, each with 900 infantry and 100 cavalry. Yue Fei is the head of a battalion.

Yue Fei has been in the army for more than a year, fought hundreds of battles, killed more than 100 gold people, and was promoted from a farmer in Xiangzhou to Wu Yilang. Yue Fei's credit is naturally also Liu Hao's credit. Zhao Gou praised Liu Hao's troops for their good management of the army and their bravery and good fighting more than once.

In fact, Liu Hao knew in his heart that it was only Yue Fei's battalion of soldiers and horses who were good at fighting. The other two battalions, under the laziness of the head Zhao Wanwang Fei's soldiers, had loose military discipline and were vulnerable.

Just because you can't fight a war doesn't mean you can't do anything else. Since yesterday, Zhao Wan and Wang Fei have been dressed in a drape, leading more than a dozen personal soldiers to exchange heads and ears in the camp. Liu Hao knew that they wanted to learn from other military camps and wanted to open meat in the city.

Liu Hao didn't care that Zhao Wanwang flew to kill some people and grab some assets. But he was afraid that the two men would pull up their own army and no longer obey his control.

Although Liu Hao is a military general, he only knows a little about martial arts. Before joining the army, he was a scholar. As a distant relative of Liu Yanqing, he originally wanted to be a civil official. But he failed repeatedly, so he had to put pen to paper. Because of the so-called general's background, it soon became a military commander.

Although he has become a ruler, Liu Hao is essentially a scholar who succeeds because of people. If it weren't for Yue Fei leading a group of brothers to his account, it is estimated that the emperor would not know who Liu Hao was until now.

Liu Hao relied on Yue Fei the most, and when he went into battle, he always gave his white horse to Yue Fei to ride, and gave his armor to Yue Fei to wear. One is to be gracious, and the other is that he can't use it himself. What he likes is to be in the middle of things.

It's a pity that Yue Fei was too impulsive, and he actually discussed national affairs in vain as a capital leader. As a result, he ended up with a scepter of thirty and was expelled from the barracks.

Liu Hao was not sympathetic to Yue Fei's experience. He thinks that Yue Fei, as a martial artist, just listens to the command honestly and fights honestly. As a military general born in a literati, adhering to the Song Dynasty's tradition of emphasizing literature over martial arts, he still looked down on Yue Fei in his bones. Otherwise, Yue Feicane would have been in a coma for two days, and Liu Hao would not even have gone to visit.

He thought that since Yue Fei had been demoted to the people, he was naturally useless to himself. So why bother!

It was only when he inspected Yue Fei's first battalion that he saw that the soldiers were still stable and still polite to him, and Liu Hao missed Yue Fei a little. You must know that when he inspected Zhao Wan and Wang Fei's two camps just now, there were soldiers who joked at him lightly, but Zhao Wan Wang Fei watched coldly, and did not come to stop him at all, nor did he salute him.

At the same time of nostalgia, he was a little irritable. Annoyingly, Zhang Xian, Ji Qian and the others have never been to the barracks since Yue Fei was injured. Don't they know military discipline? This is the Great Song Dynasty soldiers, not the rivers and lakes of rangers, nor the Taihang Mountains of Caokou. There are rules for everything.

No, you must send personal soldiers to call Zhang Xianjiqian and the others over. If they don't come again, this army will be scattered. When they came, Zhao Wan and the others didn't dare to be presumptuous. When they come, their own army will not fall apart. Otherwise, he could only take a dozen of his own soldiers south to Jiankang and go to the head of the family, Liu Guangshi.

It was too hot. Liu Hao, who was not used to wearing armor, felt that he was trapped in an iron cage and had difficulty breathing. But he did not dare to take off his armor, fearing that once he took off his armor, he would lose what little majesty he had.

I looked at the sun in the sky with a little worry. It was too hot. The Central Plains is so hot, isn't it even hotter in the south? But no matter how hot it is, it's better than three shocks overnight in the Central Plains. No, we'll leave early tomorrow morning.

When Yue Fei and his party broke into the barracks, Liu Hao was taken aback.

Ji Qianyue, who was walking in front, was covered in blood and murderous. Behind them were hundreds of people carrying large bags and small bags. Behind the people, there were hundreds of rebellious soldiers in the distance.

Liu Hao was apprehensive, thinking that Ji Qian was also going to commit a mutiny. He knew that Ji Qiantian was not afraid of the earth, and he was originally a Taihang giant. Half of the three hundred cavalry in the battalion are Ji Qian's old subordinates. Once Ji Qian raised her arms, the consequences could be imagined.

However, Liu Hao then saw Yue Fei, who was walking behind, and a big stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground. Ji Qiantian is not afraid of the ground, but he is afraid of Yue Fei. As long as Yue Fei is there, Ji Qian will definitely not make trouble. Unless Yue Fei also made a mess. Liu Hao knew that Yue Fei was loyal and righteous, and there was no possibility of rebellion at all.

So Liu Hao grabbed the war horse and watched Yue Fei walk towards him.
